A question about secure chats in c/privacy@lemmy.ml
[โ€“] Brtrnd@feddit.nl 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I've wondered if they don't know the data. They can perfectly read the convo on your device, assign a category what you're talking about and keeping that category. They don't store, read, know the conversation, they only 'analyze' it. F.e. if you talk about planes they may assign a category travel and sell your profile to holiday companies?

I don't know about this, I'm just thinking that's how I'd do it if I ran an evil corp.

calculate profit (feddit.nl)
 

Hi I DCA into an ETF. I have about 11K invested and according to Degiro I have a profit of almost 700. How should I calculate my profit? Do I get 6,3 yearly? Over the 4 years I've been investing? If it's over 4 years that seems rather low?

multiplayer? (feddit.nl)
 

I'm looking into purchasing a steamdeck for my kids. Ican I attach my 2 old Xbox controllers to it, so the kids can play together?

Most multiplayer articles talk about playing with remote players.

Also, should I go for a more expensive version? It seems like I can swap the SSD myself.

Thank you for the motherboard advice. I was under the assumption that it's something you buy once good and it shouldn't change.

I should look into steamdeck. I know nothing about it ๐Ÿ˜… Price wise it seems interesting, but that makes me doubt about specs. I'll review some sites and YouTube's to get a good idea of what it can do.

Thanx

Hi all My kid will get a gaming pc soon. I can't swallow the cost of a whole setup at the moment. I'm thinking of getting a good motherboard with a decent second hand graphics card (a colleague I trust can find me one). And over time upgrade where needed. For monitor I would be using my TV.

Is this a smart idea? We'd have a wireless mouse/keyboard and some table thing to game from the couch.

At the moment my kid is into Roblox and Minecraft, but I assume once his pc can run more; he'll play 'real' games. We are also looking to learn to program (scratch/python). Would that work on a TV?

The TV is an older model (10 years old).

Edit; Thanks everyone for the ideas and advice. We'll try the TV first. And will also look into a steamdeck. It's nice to get such positive feedback from everyone!

Thanks to the people taking such risk for us. in c/memes@lemmy.ml

Is there some guide to it? I was thinking the same!
